eejimm: We wanted to test AE's functionality and decided to build a POD for further testing. The system performed well in trials and decided to continue further R&D. Since we own the ISP and RoW's we opted for AE on all new builds. We seem to be getting better results pushing a fiber all the way in the home.

Do you have photos of the fiber distribution setup or could you describe the fiber path? From the headend how is the fiber to the subscriber split or does each fiber drop from the equipment go direct to the subscriber?

Interesting so you have a number of homes which have direct fiber drops to them from the cabinet in the field. What's the network layout, as in how many feeds do you have from the central office and how far is the CO from the field point? Is the bottom switch reciving the fiber from the CO then outputting over a single 10gig copper to the other switches?
